For those who have found spots where they can't get out...try maneuvering around and pressing the "Space" bar as this will make you jump. Its worked for me a several occasion except for once when I fell into the ocean and couldn't get out. Could look up and see the surface but alas I could not reach it.

Thanks Greyfuss but I wish that had worked for me. At one point last night the elevator door would only open half way not allowiing me to exit. Saving often is still the best option and a small price for a subgenre of adventuring that I've sorely missed.

I bought this game today. I was disappointed to see the keyboard movement, but I gt a tip from the JA forum that you can program your mouse buttons to the 'w' key. Now I'm using just the mouse to move. I've toured the island a bit. I'm so excited to have a virtual environment to explore, I almost don't care if there is anything to do. I'm going to play this when I have enough time to make notes and maps. It's been so long since I've played a new Myst inspired game.
